so trump is also down in votes, even though there was so much enthusiasm to return him to the post. So what happened? Did they game the system just enough to win, but not make it look obvious?

see how stupid that sounds. 

so what exactly do you think happened in 2020? Where is the evidence?  Or is it just that the system can only be gamed by the party out of power?  I liked you better when you where just posting propaganda videos... I liked you best when you were absent.

And, as for the evidence....watch this space.

For four years there has been this constant 'where is the evidence?' or 'there is no evidence!'....yet no judge has actually allowed anyone to present any evidence in any of the myriad court cases that have been brought in this regard, as far as I am aware.
I have been following this issue closely every day for the past four years, and have heard plenty of evidence that supports the notion that 2020 was full of skullduggery and downright cheating.
In fact, there is a pretty well known slogan that has been slung around in the past four years...'if the Dems can't cheat, they can't win!'
So....there we go. It seems to be true.

But try to answer the question.....where are the 12 million votes?
Please explain?

As I said four years ago, you are so fucked now.

Welcome to democracy....in fact, here, have a democracy suppository.



I guess I forgot that I need the /s sarcasm tag for you. 

Yes, please bring on all the evidence. You've been following it daily now for 4 years, you must have amassed a great pile that eluded all of the highly paid lawyers and observers and people that were in control of the government when it happened. 

Show me on the doll where the liberals hurt you. I've got a pretty pony band-aid we can put on it to make you feel better until your guy can get back behind the wheel.

Ignoring the conspiracy theories...

America was told that only 7 states matter, which represent about 18% of the US population.  That means roughly 4 out of 5 were told their vote wasn't going to matter.  But what happened?

Talk about fixing a problem that didn't exist...

I have historically voted in 3 to 5 minutes.  A lot of people in our town, including my spouse, were on the "vote early" bandwagon.  I assumed, since everyone else was voting early and waiting in lines, I'll go on election day.  

I won't bore you with all of the "improvements", but it took me an hour and 50 minutes to vote. 

We didn't have anything to vote for:  President, one senate seat, one congressional seat, 2 county freeholders, 3 town council and 3 local school board.  No referendums.  30 seconds at most.  All within a state that "didn't matter".

If I wasn't obsessed with process (career and personal, not political), I would have left.  A lot of people left.  There were lines everywhere in the US, primarily because the conspiracy bullshit has made ever single election commissioner scared that one missed vote is going to result in armed threats from lunatics.  Trump wins...and now there's no tampering?  No ballot box stuffing?  No dead people voting for him? 

Look at a sample of votes in 2024 vs. 2020

In PA, Trump received 3.419 Million votes compared to 3.378M in 2020.  Harris picked up 3.352M vs. Bidens 3.459M.  Totals are roughly the same.

Now look at a state that "didn't matter".  In NY Biden won with 5.244M votes.  Harris won the state...but with 4.432M.  Meanwhile, Trumps losing totals increase by roughly 200k votes.

In NJ, Trump "gained" 100k votes, but Harris lost 500k votes.  Virginia, Illinois, Colorado... all of the "guaranteed" states... Harris won, but lost votes.

The MAGA folks deserve a lot of credit for scaring the majority into submission.  The "small government" side has turned their population disadvantage into gerrymandering, fear, and voting process delays and red tape to take control of the government.  Where are all of the George Soros conspirators with regard to Elon Musk?   Musk spent $120M in Pennsylvania, and in return his value increased $7B on Wednesday.  All the fears of money in politics from the Right?  Crickets.

The high school football team and the cheerleaders have decided they want more.  They're mad at the scholars and theater kids.  We used to rely on others who were more capable can competent to run things we didn't understand.  Now, the dropouts and popular kids have been organized by a small group of Ivy Leaguers, and used by them to advance their own causes.  Now that they've done their job... their on their own.  They just don't know it yet.

The World Hasn’t Seen Cicadas Like This Since 1803

This spring, for the first time since 1803, two cicada groups known as Brood XIX, or the Great Southern Brood, and Brood XIII, or the Northern Illinois Brood, are set to appear at the same time, in what is known as a dual emergence.
...
To put that into perspective, one trillion cicadas, each of which are just over an inch long, would cover 15,782,828 miles if they were laid end-to-end. “That cicada train would reach to the moon and back 33 times,”
...
According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, during a 1990 cicada emergence, “there were reports from people in Chicago having to use snow shovels to clear their sidewalks of the dead cicadas.”

Im pretty sure this same coincidence occurred in ‘71. A friend & were camping in a hardwood forrest & because we had recent experience with weak LSD we doubled the dose. It turned out it was Owesly. So, woopie! My blonde Leo friend had become a magnificent lion & I was sailing some great albums into the woods to stop the ticking insect sounds. We had a Singer battery powered record player & it had lost the phono needle. We made a replacement from a spiral notebook binding. It played the lps but carved fine hairs of vinyl from the records. The cicada were different than our typical ones in that they were blue with red eyes. Trippy :  ) The news made a big deal of the number of bugs for weeks & we all got an education about the different cycles. Cicadas are not only insects but are also true bugs. They have a syphon mouth that they will stab you with when you catch one. Some thought the sound was a sign of the world ending. It was very loud & some folks were suicidal. I have tinnitus, but it doesn’t bother me because I became used to the cicada song every year

The driveway on the other side goes down to four or five set-back houses, most of which are rentals, mostly with UNC undergrads living in them - so sometimes there are noise complaints at night when they have their parties.  There is another house with a family and I've heard loud arguments from there over the years - maybe it was about them, or it could've been some kind of burglary/car break-in issue.

A police car just pulled up my driveway and another stopped on the street in front of my house.  When I came out to ask what was going on they said they realized that they should've gone to the driveway on the other side of the wooded lot beside my house.  Weird.  At least they smiled and apologized.  I have to replace or repair the numbers on my mailbox.
